HNRX ES Bondage Rubber Thigh Cuffs Review
By Pleasure Panel reviewer Louise Lace
I have quite a collection of wrist cuffs, ankle cuffs, collars and tie-eee-uppy things but, what I don’t have is any thigh cuffs. Dildo fairy Cara to the rescue and with the help of a donation from Honour, a pair of HNRX ES Bondage Rubber Thigh Cuffs made their way to me as part of the October 2018 Pleasure Panel Round. *squeal*
The cuffs arrived in a simple plastic bag, sorry I was so excited to have a feel of them I forgot to take a picture or take care when opening, hence the lack of packaging images to accompany this review. In all honesty it was just a plastic bag with a sticky label on saying ‘Rubber Thigh Cuff’ so you aren’t missing much.
First thing to note, the HNRX ES Bondage Rubber Thigh Cuffs are a weighty piece of kit, I was genuinely surprised at how heavy they were.
The rubber has a very distinct smell, I was reminded of the smell of car tires, not too offensive but certainly noticeable. As they will be put around my thighs and I am not a contortionist it is unlikely that the smell will waft up my nose too much. That said, the HNRX ES Bondage Rubber Thigh Cuffs are certainly big enough to be used as a collar if you so wish.
The rubber has a satin sheen to the outside and a more buffed texture to the inside. There is an obscene amount of length to each cuff, the product description on the Honour website states the product ranges from 33 to 42cm in circumference. There are 10 fastening holes so those of you blessed with super curvy or ultra-skinny thighs should find that there is a fastening setting that works for you. I am currently between a UK dress size 10 and 12 and I found the 5th setting worked well for me, the cuff sat just above the mid-way point of my thigh. Out of curiosity I wrapped a cuff around my husbands’ thigh and although he was at the larger end of the fastening settings, the HNRX ES Bondage Rubber Thigh Cuffs still fit comfortably on his thigh – I will remember this for next time it is his turn to be tied up 😉
The hardware on the cuffs took me a little by surprise, cool, shiny silver flat studs adorn the leather at various points. Rather than a standard buckle fastening the HNRX ES Bondage Rubber Thigh Cuffs have lockable buckles and comes with 2 mini padlocks to lock the cuffs in place. I wish I had recorded the sound I made when I noticed this, excited would be an understatement, usually its my husband who is locked in padlocks, I was keen to give it a go myself.
Each cuff has a D-ring near the buckle and another at the mid-way point of the cuff. These rings give the option of being restrained by wrist to thigh either at the side of the thigh or at the front/back depending on how you position the cuff. You could even restrain ankle to thigh if you positioned the cuffs and D-rings accordingly. I’m sure those of you more experienced in bondage and restraints could come up with a whole host of ways to tie and restrain using a variety of cuffs and rope but my husband and I stuck to the easy options for our first few attempts.
I loved the feel of the rubber on my skin, the rubber of the HNRX ES Bondage Rubber Thigh Cuffs is shockingly cool when first wrapped around the thigh, I did find the cuffs slipping down my legs on the first wear so next wear, I wore a pair of fishnets for extra grip and tightened the fastening by an extra setting to ensure there was no movement.
Once my wrists were wrapped in my fur lined, leather effect wrist cuffs from Cara’s Fantasy Beginners Bondage Kit, my husband used trigger hooks with chains to link my wrists to my thigh cuffs.
Whether on my knees in front of him or on my back with my legs spread-eagled I felt suitably restrained and helpless, it was a strange feeling but one I enjoyed very much.
I loved the coolness of the rubber, the clinking of the little padlocks against the buckle and the feeling of utter helplessness the HNRX ES Bondage Rubber Thigh Cuffs offered and will most definitely use them again.
The only fault I found with the HNRX ES Bondage Rubber Thigh Cuffs and only because I am a bit anal about matchy-matchy, is that the padlocks supplied were gold in colour and not silver to match the hardware of the cuffs – I will be sure to scour the tinterweb for some silver padlocks.
Honour have a range of rubber restraining items available, including collars, ankle cuffs and wrist cuffs. The lovely Just Jess is reviewing the wrist cuffs for the Pleasure Panel, so do check out her review if, like me, you like your restraining bondage items to be coordinated so you can treat yourself to a matching set.
The HNRX ES Bondage Rubber Thigh Cuffs retail at £34.99 and I believe these cuffs are well worth the spends on looks alone, never mind functionality.
Both my husband and I enjoyed our sessions with the HNRX ES Bondage Rubber Thigh Cuffs and will definitely be using them again in the future. It’s a 10 out of 10 from us.
Thank you to Cara and Honour for sending me the HNRX ES Bondage Rubber Thigh Cuffs, my husband and I love them.
10/10
